Prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient after partial rhinectomy: a clinical report

J Prosthet Dent. 2005 Feb;93(2):125-8. doi: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2004.10.021.

Abstract

Carcinoma of the nasal vestibule often requires radical surgical excision, which results in total or partial loss of the nose followed by radiation therapy. A noninvasive, cost-effective technique for rehabilitation of a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule following partial rhinectomy and radiation therapy using heat-polymerizing clear acrylic resin is presented.
